Use Assignments: Observed in person

This type of assignment in Brightspace is meant for scoring and evaluation of a learning activity such as demonstration, presentation, lab test, etc.
No files will be uploaded by the student for an Observed-in-Person assignment.

Observed-in-person assignments can also be added to Content. Students will then only see the description of the assignment and won’t be able to upload any materials.

The Observed-in-Person assignment folder is only accessible to an instructor or a similar role unless the option Manually by Learner is used.

There are 3 options to mark an Observed in Person assignment:

  1. Automatically on due date.
    Brightspace marks the assignment as completed on a set date.
  2. Automatically on evaluation.
    After the learning activity, the instructor opens the Observed in Person Assignment in the course, adds a grade and optionally adds feedback text. After the grade and feedback are added, Brightspace marks the assignment as Completed.
  3. Manually by Learner.
    The student will have to go to the assignment in Assignments in the course menu and click Mark as complete.

Instructors have the option to manually mark an assignment as complete or incomplete from the particular Assignment folder screen, even after set complete in any which way mentioned above.
